A new kernel was developed for the mk802

Several developers on the miniand.com forum have built a kernel that solves most of the problems porting linux to the A10. The have a good version running Lubuntu. I know Barry did some work with Woof to produce a puppy build, but the kernel he was using was problematic. Now that there is a better kernel, can someone help me attach the Puppy packages to it? I have played around with Woof, but am not experienced enough to produce the .img. thanks

I have got one from this

it maybe a little expensive, but it never has something wrong

The first truly available Allwinner laptop is on sale for
$140 (including shipping) from Pandawill

The problem with this laptop and its lookalikes is that they all *do not have* video out (VGA / HDMI) port, which means that you can't use it like a normal laptop. Otherwise, this is a great little device! More of this and UEFI stuff becomes irrelevant (who cares about Windows RT anyway).

height albeit with difficulty.

I've personally been looking at all the tablets... cheaper and a usb keyboard are usually like ten bucks... but i'm worried about the touch screen... so i haven't jumped in. i don't think i have enough knowledge to get it working myself... so i'm waiting for someone to have success with one.

edit- i saw that a member has had success getting the screen to work and a keyboard but i didn't see a mention of touch screen (pm'd him but still waiting on a reply).
